So @WG-traits I won't be around at our usual time today (i.e., in 10 minutes)

But maybe we can leave some brief notes

Over vacation, I was working on "the chalk refactoring" and I made a lot of progress. The fact that I consider this vacation is perhaps something I should be discussing with a mental health professional, but never mind that.

I've been talking a lot about trying to have a recurring "design zoom call" (recorded, of course) to go over this sort of thing -- maybe this is a good first candidate?

I think the major priority for rutsc-chalk integration remains kind of enumerating clearly the work to be done -- @tmandry / @Aaron Turon, were either of you able to make any progress on those builtin-bound items?

I wasn't able to start the work on chalk integration, most of my time has been wrapped up in figuring out the generator optimization stuff (@eddyb and I had to iterate on the design a bit)

but I haven't forgotten, and may have time to look at it this week

I was thinking of starting to do the work on modelling specialization in chalk. We had a meeting about this back in January (oh wow :open_mouth:) where we discussed some initial thoughts about how we might want to go about it
